The North Carolina’s Worth It campaign is
Together NC’s strategy to raise over $1 billion in new revenue to restore funding for vital public investments like schools, health services, and environmental protections. This plan would help our state restore deep and largely unnecessary budget cuts and help put us back on a path to building a better tomorrow. Read the full proposal here.
